Wild Boar Shotgun Shell Repellant?
My neighbor has a large Boar Farm. He has to go into a large boar pen and wants a shotgun non-lethal repellant. He asked me to load up some rock salt 12 gauge loads since he does not reload. I suggested other short range "Persuader" loads. I like pure research and put together a few alternative "Stinger" loads for 300-500 pound porkers with an attitude.
Who has a thought for a payload to turn away a big boar? I have a batch of non-lethal 12 gauge loads to test at first light tomorrow. All loads are non-lead as the boars are a cash crop for my neighbor. I will report back on the test results in the pig pen.... Adam

A buddy of mine in the RCMP used bean bag loads out of his service 12ga for black bears. Prob would work on boars as well.

I found out popcorn seeds, lentil beans and dried peas do not work. It seems the payload is too light for the powder to burn properly. I use AA wads and 700X, but the loads were all mouse burps!
I will search for those rubber balls and see how that works out. Adam

Try Bulls-eye powder with a red Winchester wad so you can get as much "shot" as you can get in the shell. Popcorn should be a good load. Try to get 3/4 to 7/8 ounce of small popcorn in the shell. 16 1/2 to 17 gr of Bulls-eye. Rocksalt is also hard to get to shoot well. 2f or 3 f black powder will also work with light loads. Just have to clean the gun
